ARE YOU HUNGRY, VENICE? We’re sure you will be when you read—or should we say devour—this issue, the most delicious one of the year: the Foodie issue! We spent the last few months scouring our town in search of the most delicious bites Venice has to offer. We certainly found more than enough material to fill these pages.

Narrowing down all the sensational local flavors and global cuisine in town was no easy task, but we are confident this issue is an accurate representation of our emerging reputation as a true dining destination.

While we don’t like to play favorites, the Foodie issue is near and dear to our hearts. After all, food is not only nourishing and delicious, but it also brings people together—whether it’s a special anniversary dinner, a much-needed lunch break with loved ones, a friend’s birthday party, or even a casual weeknight meal with family. Food is one of life’s great pleasures.

Consider this issue your foodie guide to Venice, featuring the best places to satisfy your

DELICIOUS BURGERS, BREWS, SALADS AND SANDWICHES HIGHLIGHT THE CREATIVE BURGER CHAIN'S WELCOMING VIBE AND SERVICE

Brewburgers' Michael Bacon

Feeds Us Like Family ARTICLE TONY D'SOUZA

PHOTOGRAPHY PRION PHOTOGRAPHY

THE SMASHING SUCCESS OF BREWBURGERS— FOUNDED IN 2011 AND REPEATEDLY VOTED BEST BURGER JOINTS IN TOWN—IS CERTAINLY DUE TO THE CHAIN’S PERFECTLY NAMED OWNER, MICHAEL BACON. After all, bacon plays a big role in Brewburgers’ “fantastically huge” half-pound (or more) burgers like the Split Decision, a classic one-third-pound bacon and American cheeseburger topped with a blackened chicken breast and melted pepper jack cheese on a brioche roll.

A funny, vibrant guy, Michael livens up neighborhood events in his bacon-themed clothing, including his famous bacon suit.

“My wife, Liz, and I and another couple started Brewburgers in an old Waffle House by the interstate in February 2011,” Michael says. “Brewburgers was such a different turn for me because I had left a lifetime in the restaurant business up in Vermont when this opportunity came about. To tell the truth, I didn’t expect the business to do that much at first.”

His expectations were completely flipped by Brewburgers.

“We were busy right away,” Michael says and grins.

“Your Basic Kind of Cheesesteak”—Shaved Angus beef with grilled onions and American and provolone cheeses on a hoagie

Venice Lifestyle | October 2019

“We had the right food, the right concept, the right service, and everything just clicked. I knew right away that we could do a ton of business. The other couple was retiring, and my wife and I bought them out. We bought

that first building, upgraded it, repaved the parking lot, added outside seating. Our menu at that time was very simple; we had five or six burgers and a handful of sandwiches that we really focused on doing right.

But now? Brewburgers has grown so far, far beyond that.”

Just reading the Brewburgers’ menu is enough to make any mouth water. The burgers come in two tiers, the “favorites” and the “fantastically huge.” The “favorites” include burgers like the Ollie G., topped with bacon, garlic and herb cheese, spicy olive tapenade, and chipotle ranch, and the BuffaPalooza Burger, drenched in buffalo sauce with grilled onions and blue cheese. The “fantastically huge” burgers include the Manny Mo, stuffed with cheddar cheese and topped with jalapenos, avocado and nacho cheese sauce on a brioche roll, and the Backyard BBQ, topped with barbecue pulled pork, coleslaw and an onion ring on a pretzel roll. A diverse and delicious array of salads and other sandwiches is also made fresh at the two Brewburgers locations, which both have a variety of craft beers on tap.

“Our chili has been a huge success,” Michael says. “We’ve won the Suncoast BBQ Bash Voters’ Choice award five of the past six years. We get creative with our burgers, and I name a lot of them after my family.

The Ollie G. is named after my youngest son, and one of our gigantic burgers, the Maddy B., is named after my eldest daughter. It’s our most popular giant burger. It’s got two grilled cheese sandwiches on a giant bacon cheeseburger with sauce all over it.”

Michael and Liz have four children, Madison, 21, Andrew, 20, Lily 7, and Oliver, 4. Michael tries to write creative burger recipes to name after all of his kids and other friends and family.

The success of his first location led to the opening of his second location on the Trail, with a cozy, hole-in-the-wall, everybody-knowsyour name kind of feel.

“Brewburgers has been the biggest success of my career,” Michael says. “It feels really good. Both restaurants are busy, and we are doing a ton of catering. We try to give back to the community as much as possible and we feel that we are part of a real hometown.”

in the risotto. The risotto takes about 30 minutes, stirring constantly. The shrimp takes 3 minutes in a pan.”

Mary Beth sautés chopped onions in butter, then adds the risotto so it soaks the butter up. She adds white wine as well.

“I slowly add the vegetable stock until the risotto becomes creamy.

Then I add in the squash. I love the taste and color of the squash because it is the essence of fall. It all goes together and creates a wonderful flavor.”

PORK SHANK IN CAPERMARINARA S AUCE OVER SPAGHE T TI INGREDIENTS + Pork shank + Tomato sauce + Red wine + Capers + Garlic + Garlic powder + Onions + Oregano + Basil + Parsley + Salt and pepper + Spaghetti + Parmesan

Four Hours Entrée

DIRECTIONS “I boil the pork shank for an hour and a half,” says Allegro Bistro’s head chef Frank Rossitto. “Then we roast it with onion, garlic, garlic powder, oregano, capers, red wine, tomato sauce, for about two hours. The meat becomes so tender, it falls right off the bone. You don’t even need a knife to cut it. It’s so tender you can eat it with a spoon. We sell so much of this in the fall because that’s when people really like to eat it since it’s so hearty.

People say, ‘Wow!’ when it comes out because it is so colorful and big.”

“Everybody in the restaurant really loves to see this dish come out,” says Nella Valenti, owner of Allegro Bistro and Valenti’s Restaurant. “It looks very beautiful. When we bring it to the table and we pass by, everybody turns to watch because the way we serve it, it is standing up on the plate!”

THERE HAVE BEEN MANY EXCITING CHANGES AT ENGLEWOOD’S BOCA ROYALE GOLF AND COUNTRY CLUB, INCLUDING THE ADDITION OF JP MARCINO, 39, AS EXECUTIVE CHEF. Boca Royale features a number of dining options, all open to the public, and Chef JP has worked hard to modernize the club’s menus. A graduate of Fort Lauderdale’s Art Institute Culinary School, Chef JP hails from Venezuela and is of Italian descent. Both Italy and South America influence his culinary vision and style, and his 17 years of experience creating delicious cuisine for Florida din-

ers have given him the range to satisfy palates from those who want American traditional fare to people who love food from around the world. Married to his wife, Elizabeth, for 15 years and the father of a 9-year-old son, Stefan, Chef JP knows our community and cooks for our tastes with care and excellence.

“After culinary school, I went into country clubs, retirement communities, restaurants like Seasons 52 and quality momand-pop operations from Port Charlotte to Fort Lauderdale to Venice,” Chef JP says. “I was gaining experience everywhere in Florida. Now I am back in the country club setting here at Boca Royale, which is a great venue for wonderful cuisine. I am most interested in raising the quality of food that I can bring to the varied demographics here at Boca Royale. We serve people of all ages, all tastes, from teenagers to very established,

influential people who really know great food. I love that Boca Royale is open to the public, and I can cook for everyone. The pace here is fast and demanding. I have a lot of freedom to experiment and please people with my culinary ideas.”

Boca Royale’s main dining rooms are open daily, both with full-service bars.

“We have made drastic changes to our menus,” Chef JP says.

“We are bringing fresh ingredients and scratch cooking to our tables. Everything at Boca Royale is now totally fresh, from our sauces, to meats and fish, to vegetables, everything on the plate.

Fresh is what I do. When you eat my cuisine, you are eating the freshest food possible, much of it sourced from Florida.”

Chef JP sees his new position at Boca Royale as an opportunity to let his skills shine.

“Boca Royale is giving me freedom to restructure our menus at a price that is a bit lower for our area,” Chef JP says. “Even at a lower price, our ingredients are way above the rest. Boca Royale is a great building opportunity for me in terms of creating menus.”

JP’s dishes include shrimp primavera, duck a l’orange, haddock puttanesca and roasted pork tenderloin. On Friday evenings, diners can enjoy prime rib for just $22.

Boca Royale’s food and beverage director, Phyllis Muscatello says of Chef JP, “He’s so exciting because he’s in tune with what is happening today in terms of freshness and ingredients.

“Now we are in a stand-alone building, which is better for us because we have our own parking for our clients and don’t have to share space with other businesses. We also have more room for storage.”

Founded by Vera Wolf and the Emmanuel Lutheran Church in 1985, the Food Pantry today is supported by more than 25 different churches, many local businesses, individual donors and 180 vol-

financial donations. Summers are a particular time of need.

“During season and at the end of season, we get a lot of donations from our snowbirds,” Rosie explains. “Things get quite a bit quieter during the summer, but residents here still need supplemental food.”
